SUSPENSION DEVICE FOR UMBRELLAS AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 18, 1918.

Application filed January 25, 1917. Serial No. 144,433.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AGNES A. PRESTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Suspension Devices for Umbrellas and the like, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to attachments for umbrellas and parasols and like articles, and has for its object the production of an efficient suspension device whereby such anarticle may be swung from the wrist of the bearer so as to leave both hands free and at the same time prevent loss or misplacement of the article.

I attain my object by providing a leather loop with a cross stra and buckle, and a slide upon the loop a apted to close it up against the wrist.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of strap.

Fig. 2 is a similar perspective view of a second form of strap and attachments.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the manner in which the cross strap of Fig. 2 is formed.

In the drawings, 1 indicates an umbrella, and 2 the suspension strap or loop, which is attached just below the wooden or enlarged handle of the umbrella by means of the cross strap 3. In the form shown in Fig. 1 this cross strap is made in a separate piece with an ofi'-set projection 4 which is stitched between the ends of the leather strap forming the loop. One end of the cross strap carries a buckle 5 and the other end is per forated to take the tongue of the buckle. A link slide 6 has rings 7 traveling on the sides of the loop and serves to close the same against the wrist when in use.

In the form shown in Fig. 2, the strap 2 and the cross strap 3 are formed integrally in the following manner. A long straight strap is taken and the end is folded over at right angles as shown at 8, then carried throu h the buckle, then back across the folde portion, leaving enough on the end beyond the same to encircle and buckle around the umbrella handle. The other end of the strap is brought down on the opposite side of the loop from the cross strap, is passed under the same and up on the near side, and the whole is secured together by means of rivets 9, or equivalent stitching.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patcut is A support for carrying an umbrella comprising a strap formed into a loop with a portion beyond the loop formed into a cross strap held at a point intermediate its ends by the end of. the loop and extending at right angles to the loop, the ends of the strap forming the loop being held together and the cross strap and loop held in fixed relation to each other by a single permanent union.

In testimony whereof I ailix my si ature.
